What is the name of Warren Buffett's biography written by Alice Schroeder?

Warren Buffett’s biography written by Alice Schroeder is The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life.

Published by Bantam Books in 2008, the book is one of the most detailed biographies of Buffett’s life and investing career. Schroeder was a financial analyst who had covered Berkshire Hathaway while working at Morgan Stanley. Buffett agreed to cooperate with her, giving her access to personal files and allowing interviews with family members, friends, colleagues, and business associates.

The title refers to Buffett’s famous idea that successful investing resembles a snowball rolling downhill: starting early and allowing time, discipline, and compounding to build wealth. The full English title is sometimes shortened to The Snowball, which is why that shorter answer is the canonical quiz response.

Readers sometimes confuse it with Buffett’s own annual shareholder letters or with The Warren Buffett Way, an investment-focused book by Robert G. Hagstrom. Schroeder’s work is specifically a biography, not an investing manual written by Buffett.
